Got caught in some rain, and now looks like liquid under the screen. Everything works OK except the screen tapping. The warranty is void on it as well. Anyone suggest where to send it or get it repaired. (UK or Spain preferably)
TIA

I managed to break the screen on my Optimus 3d last night, not sure if it was dropped or ran over. I found it face down in my driveway this morning and to my horror when I flipped it over the screen was completely smashed, however the phone is still working fine, minus the never ending ghost call issue.
What make the situation worse is Rogers just sent me out a replacement phone yesterday and I have to send this one back, in the next couple days.
So I called a repair centre and they wanted $190 to repair the phone, and stated they would need to replace the LCD and the glass screen. I know there is nothing wrong with the LCD screen, phone functions and all colours are good, just has broken glass.
My question is, can I repair just the glass without replacing the LCD? I have found the screen for around $30 on ebay. Based on watching the how to on youtube it doesn't look like too difficult of a job.
me too i have broke my glass of my phone and they said like your prize to replace thre glass but in my country crunncy and the screen work perfectly I don't know why they want to change the screen too it's annoying

If your LCD is working you only need the digitizer replaced (phone front + touch screen) which costs you around 20/30$ http://www.ebay.com/itm/Replacement...080?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1c2d78e968 .
My touchscreen was broken (randomly pressing things on the screen) and I think the 2nd hand shop I got it from only replaced the digitizer I think based on the small dust I see on my screen.
This only works if your LCD doesn't show blurry or (partially) black (damaged).

First of all , this was asked before. Read the forum. I know because i asked that question.

Carefully read them , especially my posts because i did it.
Where are you from and how fast can you get the replacements off ebay ?
When you get them it'll take about half an hour to fix it.
Nobody will notice unless there's damage to the LCD.
If it has we'll have to change it too.
I can guide you via Skype video calling.
Ok so I have managed to remove the broken screen, it was actually fairly easy my only concern is the part show at the 7:00 minute mark of the video below, was broken when I removed it. The copper tape strip (or whatever it is) is still in tact. Where can I purchase this part? I still have all the pieces and if worst comes to worst I will attempt to very carefully assemble the phone with the broken parts to see if the phone still functions. I'm assuming this is part of what operates the home, search, back and menu buttons.
I have already removed the glue and am going to pick up a new screen from London shortly. I had some adhesive remover and work in a glass shop so I have all the tools and cleaners to ensure my new screen sticks and fits nicely.
After reading the thread you linked I am wondering if the screen they sell in London will will include the outside casing, this would solve all of my problems. I guess I will know soon enough, heading to London now. I will let you guys know how I made out.
Heey if you look on youtube you find couple of videos its not very difficult i did it with a friend of my it takes 20 minutes be carful ^^
Goodluck
You can make do without a front case if you know what you're doing. I lacked equipment so i used alternative methods like shoe glue or blowdryer (which killed the original digitizer)...
No matter what you do they'll recognize if you don't buy it with a front casing though... (Already glued preferably)
I found it in turkey so i don't think you can't find it in london , resources are vast there...
Look around.
Remove the digitizer and check the lcd before heading to london if need be buy it as well.
If you need help you know where to find me...
Cheers!

Ok so I got the new screen installed and everything is working great. I purchased some 3m adhesive at the repair shop which made for a very clean replacement after removing all the old glue with some adhesive remover. Decided to grab a LCD for my brothers LG970 while I was there and repaired it as well.
New phone arrived yesterday evening, so I will be sending this one back this afternoon. The screen replacement is very clean so I'm not concerned about that but I did manage to lose the little speaker cover from the front of the phone, I just plan on telling Rogers it fell of at some point if they ask about it. Considering the phone is in working order with no physical damage besides wear and tear I don't expect an issue from Rogers.
By the way anyone want to purchase the brand new Optimus3d Rogers sent me? Not even taking this one out of the box, selling it and getting the as far away from LG phones as I can.
Thanks for all the help guys.
I could think about buying it but you need to disassemble it and wrap the parts good.
In Turkey it's illegal to buy phones from foreign countries but it's not if you buy not working parts.
So in short i'm gonna con them into thinking it's for parts if you're up to it. PM me the price in your head.

I have sent you a pm. At least I believe I have I don't actually see the message in my sent items list.
Hello guys. Today just by mistake I noticed a scratch which seem to be few dead pixels or something like that? I removed the screen protector and tried to rub the area but it seems to be under the Lcd glass. What can be done? Which part should be replaced? I bought the device abroad so no warranty. Image of the scratch is attached .
dust or something?
I would call Samsung. The phone should still be under manufacturers warranty.

Warranty
The warranty is not given in my country.. I can send it abroad but it Will take ages for it to return. It looks like a small piece of hair under the screen glass.. Or maybe defective Lcd I am not sure.
You should still try Samsung international warranty. .. You bought it while you were on holiday
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk
Yeah it does look like a small hair or something. Every phone should have a warranty if you bought it new. I would still call Samsung and find out what can be done.

Turn off the screen then put a flashlight to it. If it's a hair you'll be able to see it. If it's dead pixels then it won't be visible when screen is off.

Hello all,
I've just received my new galaxy S6 and it is (was) beautiful. But after few hours normal using I've saw something strange on glass of my phone. There are not a scratches, it's looks rather like spots, blur or something. And there are always looks the same. In same places with same pattern. Is anybody here who had this problem? Can I give it back on warranty? or they will say that this is my fault?

You should definititively bring it to warranty. To me that looks like that the adhesive under the screen has begun to release from the screen. That is definitively not your fault.
... Or have you boiled it in hot water (like techrax....errrr...sorry) :silly:
Anyway... Bring it to warranty because that's very strange. I haven't this issue with my screen and I believe that others neither.
It looks like the glass and the screen are not that well glued together, it's definitely a manufacturing flaw and you should send it back to the store.
I have the same since I bought the phone, but it's visible only under direct light when the screen is off so I don't care. I was thinking I will use the warranty when the screen is scratched in the future

Hi All,
I have inherited a damaged S5 (SM-G900F). It originally had a broken front glass which I successfully managed to replace the outer glass on it it worked fine for a short while. It then developed a fault where the soft button (menu) would be continuously pressing itself making the phone unusable. It turns out the chassis is bent and was putting pressure on the buttons causing this. I've tried to carefully open up the phone again to replace the chassis but the digitizer broke.
I'm trying to weigh up if its worth repairing again as the cost of a new digitizer is around £120.
Does anyone know where I could purchase a more reasonably priced replacement digitizer.
I would be fitting it myself as I will be replacing the chassis at the same time. (I'm not looking to send it away for repair)
TIA

Might be worth checking ebay for dead spares or repair phones with good screens
Where are you from mate? I own a phone repair company and happy to put you in touch with suppliers and give you instructions etc

Hi guys,
